Charlotte Baron, 14, penned a series of drawings showing how she was self-harming and posted entries saying she didn’t like the size of her body.

One heartbreaking entry in the notebook told of an incident where she wished she had died after being admitted to hospital following a drinking bout over the Christmas holidays.

It read: “I almost died – I was so close. I just wanted to forget everything. I just wanted to die. I was so f***ing close, why did they have to save me, why, I don’t want to be here. Why won’t they just let me die.”

Charlotte Baron

Charlotte, from Rochdale, Gtr Manchester, was found hanged in her wardrobe by her older brother Tyler, 20, who had been looking for a phone charger.

Police discovered she had sent a last text to a friend reading: “What the f*** is going on with me, I’m such a f***ing wimp. F***.”

The hearing in Heywood was told Charlotte, who attended St Cuthberts Roman Catholic High School in Rochdale, appeared to be a happy girl and was close to her grandmother but she began self-harming when she was 12.

The teen was also badly affected by her grandmother being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Mum Veronica, 42, said: “I found out that she was self-harming at 12.

"I let my mum talk to her because she had been a self-harmer and Charlotte seemed to get better after that.”

HEARTBREAKING: Charlotte was known as a happy girl

Tyler said in an statement: “Charlotte was a happy kid and nothing seemed to be wrong with her. Charlotte didn’t go round telling everyone about her private life and she was generally a private person.

“The week she died Charlotte seemed completely normal.”

Det Insp Andrew Butterworth told the inquest: “A black notebook was found entitled ‘drawing diary’ and signed Charlotte Baron. There was a number of drawings in there.

“There is a date on one drawing on page 3, which is December 30 which appears to be a reference to the day after she was intoxicated.

“There is an image of a bottle and it says: ‘So today is the 30th tomorrow is New Years Eve, yesterday I over drank and ended up in hospital again. I almost died’.”
